What is this thing called Life? <br />Life is between the ears. <br />Not much of anything <br />But getting old <br />Love in the box <br />Love out of the box <br />Castration love with catheters <br />Ears don’t hear, eyes don’t see, <br />What could I be? <br />But I have lived no life <br />So I live poetry and 75 lines <br /> <br />Although I don’t do 75 lines <br />taste the words <br />They’ll grow on you <br />Like spinach <br />Smell the wars and save your money <br />Isn’t this Land of Milk and Honey? <br />I am not in any hurry <br />The God of death can’t make me worry any more. <br />No number do I have on my room door.<br /><br />Fred Babbin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/between-the-ears-2/
